Mary Poppins/Ashley Brown Stage Door help

Does anybody know where the stage door is for Mary Poppins, or where I would be able to get Ashley Brown's autograph after the show? I'm going to the show for the first time on friday night and would love to get an autograph.

Any help you can give would be most appreciated.

If you exit the theatre on the left hand side, it'll be on your right whenyou exit onto 41st...

If you leave through the front onto 42nd, you need to go around the block.

Please post a reveiw, very curious how someone who hasn't seen the movie will react.

*JUST A TIP:
There IS a hidden door for Mar Poppins. It's a little furher down the street (not too far though), but it is a door from the stage to the audience. you might wanna watch that door carefully.

I was surprised that I enjoyed Mary Poppins as much as I did. While the production itself is magnificent, the cast had a unbridled energy that was contagious, sweeping the audience along in their flight. I was never a fan of the movie, but this show certainly deserved its nomination.

To get on point, yes, Ashley Brown does come to the stage door to sign, as did all of the principles except the actor who plays Mr. Banks who apparently slips out that 'secret door' on a regular basis. In fact, I was surprised by the comradery the cast showed as they came out after performing two shows that day, one might think they actually enjoy themselves and each other. The added bonus for a two show day is that you might get to meet Ashley's french bulldog. He was adorable!

Now my pugs will be mad at me.

I saw Mary Poppins in December and Ashley came out and signed that night, too. And yes, she had her own sharpie! Gavin Lee signed a few (including mine) and then bolted. Delaney Morrow, who I think has left due to being too tall, was bouncing around with some friends and was really a cute little girl! I was mostly interested in Ashley, as were most, so I didn't notice the others. This was the 2nd time I met Ashley - the first being after a performance of B&TB. Both times she was very kind and sincere. Hope you get to meet her!!! And enjoy the show!

Brown is VERY good to her fans, though, in terms of demeanor, she was better during her run in Beauty.

It could be the crowd size, but I remember her being significantly more out-going and friendly at Beauty.

Didn't feel like making another topic.

Does anyone know if Ashley has any vacations? I was noticing all the backstage photos on bww.com and she wasn't in any of the pics.

I've heard that Ashley is on vacation 'this week'- no clue what time period this week covers though, is it usually Tue thru Sun? Sun thru Sat?

Didn't hear anything about the understudy question.

Ana: Usually, an actor will take off the Tues-Sun week, however, they may add extra days, like the Sunday before or something, depending on their plans.

Gavin Lee has extended is original London contract once, I'm not sure when this contract ends though...october maybe? But then he might just extend to the end of the run since it's closing in Jan in London...who knows though.

I'm confused, what would the London closing have to do with Lee's contract in the US? I thought most people transferring from England were only contracted to do six months due to the restrictions with Actor's Equity in England?
